Vivid Sydney 2015... Improved a bit

Ok, so if you were my loyal to my old channel and follow me in my new channel, you guys should remember that my firsy vlog is about how much I HATED Vivid Sydney 2014 due to the crowds and a bunch of other variables.

This year however, I have to say... Vivid Sydney improved a bit. I went and it was almost similar to last year's one but less crowded (And I went on Day 1 or 2 so expectation is more crowded stuff),

First of all, Opera house... same but too much florecent lights. It wasnt that interesting since... I don't know, its just the same but less wow

 However, the rest of the night was amazing. If you love photography, Vivid Sydney is your chance for good photos. It's a glow in the dark wonderland but more aww, more interaction and improved crowd control. It was improved soo much that I managed to watch a light show on front of the Circular Quay train station (It's near McDonalds)

But out of all the things that occured, I enjoyed taking photos using my iPhone (Yes... i'm still against the DSLR... But my cousin has a camera that defied my judgement). So here are a few of what I took:

The last one is my masterpiece! It took arround 20 tries to get this right. (No Joke!)

So in conclusion, I enjoyed this year's Vivid Sydney. It has improved a bit and it was great.

So that's the end of May's edition of Life out of the Camera!

I'm So Bored

So hello again fellow readers as today's lovely topic for a blog is about...boredom. I know, out of all the things I own or I can do... Im bored.

Let me explain...

If you are still young, you dont want to waste your Sunday on studying (unless its super urgent) so you want to do other things like partying or have a massive multiplayer party or something. But for me, the only fun thing I can think to do right now is edit, fan art, fan fictions, youtube or single player offline sessions.

It sucks... I know.

I wanted to do many things like play or record or practice but part of my subconsiousness says that its boring and I just did that last Friday. I want to study but its a SUNDAY!!! Sunday is a break day (unless its urgent). I'm sooo bored right now...

But heres the funny part... The thing that caused my boredom is the anouncement of the 'Phan-Prix' party in Mario Kart 8 where phandom members can race against Dan and Phil and the sad thing is... I dont have Mario Kart 8. Since I dont really have a reality... That multiplayer session is like being invited to the biggest party of the year... But you have no ticket to enter the club.

So as social media ruins my life by live tweeting the event, I end up being bored. So bascially, once i hear someone having more fun than I... I get bored... Thats a really stupid explanation.

But this isnt the first time that's happened. It happens a lot. One of my friends has this massive birthday party few months ago and I wasnt invited. I went on facebook accidentally and all my friends are posting all the amazing things that's happening. My fun Saturday just became 'why wasnt I invited, whats wrong with me' Saturday.

Im assuming that there are a few people who gets bored this easily due to this reason, maybe others have different reasons. I heard one of them is due to that they are alone that they rather be with friends in real life. Some is due to the amount of stuff they have going on or literally having nothing in mind planned.

So there is some idea on boredom and why we may end up feeling like this...

Cutiejea out!

PS: I'm bored right now

When Team Internet Takes Over... What are the effects?

One of the reasons why I love YouTube is because of the fact that its filled with creative people who can do amazing things with just a camera (before it turned into a medium where its filled with people who just do it for the cash). But what outstounds me the most is when the people who has been in this game of YouTube for a while does something that breaks the barriers between YouTube and Traditional media. This is why I started to make content, to someday be one of those people.

But this is not about me wanting to do this but more on the people who I look up to or enjoyed watching for months or years and did something that gives me the feels of being proud for #TeamInternet.

The first the announcement of Dan and Phil creating a book and having a worldwide tour (The Amazing Tour/Book is not on fire). Normally, Dan and Phil only tour within the UK, America and Europe (i think) and here in Australia, there aren't many Phan girls (both Dan and Phil), Philions (Phil only) or Danosaurs (Dan only) because of the lost hope.

This tour changes everything.... Hope is restored and hopefully, I wont be the lone wolf.

Next is the fact that YouTubers making music. Yes, YouTubers are being respected as artist. When I was riding the airplane during my overseas adventure to Hong Kong, one of the albums I get to listen to are 2 Pentatonix albums. I've heard of Pentatonix this year but only because it was announced in the TV news that they won a grammy. And after watching a Teens React to Pentatonix by the Fine Brothers, I decided to check them out and I instantly loved their song 'Love Again'. I loved it so much that it inspired me to write a fan fiction one shot (seen in my wattpad). Besides them, last year the #amazingphil, 40% is based on TRXYE by Troye Sivan that it got Platinum in Australia, Number 1 in 50+ countries and was part of the top hits selection in iTunes last month (although I'm a bit jelly since Troye is 19 and I'm near that age and i haven't succeeded in anything)

Next is the vlogbrothers (John Green) having 2 of his books turned into Movies and its freaking amazing because I cried 5 times in The Fault in Our Stars and I'm already hyped up for Paper Towns this year. Oh my goodness... Please make The Abundance of Katherines film!

Lastly is YouTube on TV. I'm not talking about pressing a web browser on your plasma/LCD tv and going onto YouTube but more on YouTubers working on radio, featured on TV and stuff like that. Besides Dan and Phil on BBC Radio 1, I watched Grace Helbig with Jimmy Fallon in ABC 2, watched iHasCupquake on Wipeout via Youtube and actually enjoyed the Annoying Orange TV series 2 years ago on ABC 3 and thats a good thing! The problem with this is when major TV stations STEALS from YouTubers. So far, the only incidents I've heard was Nickelodeon stealing Phil's 7 second challenge and didnt give credit and something about Jimmy Fallon taking Joe Sugg's whisper challenge and 'sort off' give credit (don't look at me, blame Tumblr --- these fan girls give really good and extensive evidence based on the issue). There is a part of me that says 'I don't mind' but it kinda hurts knowing that creators get their ideas stolen and its up to the fans to retaliate and the creator is TOTALY unaware.

But in the end... YouTube merging to Traditional media? I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing because anything can happen in just an upload or a broadcast and I'm kinda afraid that the essence of YouTube being a medium for the creative will become a medium for commercial and business and the next thing you know... the YouTube we once love is gone and transformed into... I don't know... A market place or something and we as the viewer will no longer be viewers or fans but more of a consumer, a mindless robot to buy and such rather than to enjoy the content.

I still love YouTube and the fact that I can still be creative is great! Just hope YouTube doesn't blow it or take away the creative essence of YouTube away...
